Belfast to celebrate its maritime history

Belfast will be celebrating its rich maritime heritage over the upcoming Late May Bank Holiday Weekend (Saturday 25 to Monday 27 May) at Queen's Quay extending down to Titanic Belfast. The Belfast Titanic Maritime Festival will see tall ships and many other vessels arriving in the lough and all manner of family fun to be had on the quays.

Among the events of most interest, perhaps, to those with ancestors from the city, is the Titanic Walking Tour. This follows in the footsteps of the famous ship's builders on a guided tour of Queen's Island, where Titanic and her two sister ships were designed, built and launched. The tour will depart at 11am, 1pm and 3pm on each of the three days of the Festival, and is free. Booking is required on +44 (0)28 9024 6609. Details.

Welcome to Irish Genealogy News

Irish genealogy research is famous for being difficult, if not impossible. This reputation isn't entirely deserved, although there can be some fundamental difficulties in discovering your Irish ancestry, particularly if you don't know where your ancestors lived. That's why I launched my website, Irish Genealogy Toolkit. It's a free online guide to Irish family history research, and it's designed to helpyou to find your heritage.

This blog runs in parallel with the Toolkit and is not sponsored, aligned or connected with any commercial organisations. As its name suggests, it carries the latest Irish genealogy news and it's read by professional and amateur genealogists who recognise its independence and wide coverage of news.

Be sure to bookmark my blog's home page, and check in regularly to keep up to date with what's happening in the world of Irish family history.
